HIS WONDERFUL NERVE. THE FREIGHT BUREAU. How This Important Branch of Railroad Enterprise is Conducted. Few people have any idea of the comprehensive system that attaches to the receiving and forwarding of freight by the railroads. Here. for instance, at sheds of the St. L, K. & N. W., the casual observer would sup pose that the freight is simply re- ceived from the wagons on one side of the depot, carried or trucked across and dumped into the outbound cars on the other side. He would also as- sume that only local regulations gov- erned the handling of freight. On the contrary, there is a perfect system ex- tending all over the country, and rec- ognized by the Inter-State Commerce act, so that the same rules equally ap- ply in Boston, St. Louis and San Fran- cisco. More immediately we are un- der the control of the Western Rail- way Weighing Association and In- spection Bureau, comprising over sev- enty railroads, with George L. Car- man, general superinteadent, at Chi- cago, and Charles Johnson, agent, at St Louis. This association—as there are others like it, covering other parts of the country—issues classification and rate sheets four times a year, and special bulletins at more frequent in- tervals. Of the importance of correct classification and rating you may judge when I cite section 10 of the Inter-State Commerce act, which makes it a felony for a common car- rier or any of its agents or employes to knowingly connive at false billing of freight or false weighing, anu visits the same penalty of $5,000 fine or impris- onment in the penitentiary for two years upon the shipper who knowing- ly resorts to false weighing, or bribes any railroad employe to resort to dis- crimination in behalf of such shipper. The inspector must check over the classification by the latest sheet, and verify the weight of the freight. To do this he must open and examine the freight and make corrections. This saves considerable to the railroad, for, either through ignorance or design, the shipper often gives a wrong classi- fication and as frequently underweighs the shipment. I am obliged to make weekly reports of these examinations to the local agent of the road and to the general offices of the Inspection Bureau at Chicago, and my corrections frequently show erroneous rating and weighing to the value of $200 or $300. This sum is saved to the railroad, for it is an extraordinary exception when the shipper erroneously bills against himself, Even the over-worked bill clerks are apt to make mistakes in classification, the changes are so numerous, and it is hard to remember the relative relations of thousands of articles shipped by freight So, perhaps, it is little wonder that a shipper sometimes bills cut- lery as hardware or that another may try to get through a barber's or dent- ist’s chair as ordinary furniture. But they do not succeed. The inspectors know freight and what to change the classification to in case of error. Be- sides the Inspection Bureau resorts to aspecies of detective business in the case of suspected shippers who under- bill, and we interchange bulletins of warning. The system is as nearly per- fect as any thing human can be, and the shippers are so far learning, the fact that they now make out their shipping tickets far more correctly than formerly.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. ——-_ 2+ CONCERNING ATOMS. A Prisoner Helps to Build the Gallows Upon Which he 1s to be hanged. Woodbury, N. J., Nov. 13.—Geo. H. Hiliman was hanged here to-day for the murder of Peddler Siedman. The drop fell at 10:29. The murderer threw the peddler’s body into a pond, appropriated his pack and took up the business of peddling. When the body was found Hillman was arrested and convicted. When the gallows arrived yester- day the sheriff went to the prisoner and told him the gallows was to be put together but a few feet from where he was confined, and asked him ifit would not be better for him to change his cell and not see it go up, but the young man refused pos itively to be moved saying that he wanted to see the scaffold put to- gether. Van Hise, the expert excutioneer from Newark, Detective Garrison, Sheriff Ridgway and a couple of oth- er men carried the gallows into the jail. As Garrison passed Hillman extended his hand and said: Mr. Garrison Iam glad to see you, and I bear you no hard feeling for the tes- timony you gave against me. You are an officer and it was your duty.’ The men who were to erect the scaffold then began putting it togeth er, Hillman being the most interest- ed of those present. Under the close watch of Constable Dobson, the death watch, the young man walked to where the work was being done. He appeared more like one superin- tending than a convict doomed. He closely watched every joint being put together. One part of the scaffold, the main brace, an unusually heavy log, was quite a strain for the few men in the jail to lift, and Hillman, unconcern- ed as usual, volunteered to help aud assisted in putting the timber in Hillman made himself usc- ful during most of the time oceup.- place. ed in putting up the gallows, doing odd jobs and chatted with the death watch. Survivors of Terry’s Rangers. San Antonio, Tex., November 13. —At 10 o’cloch this morning the survivors of Terry’s famous regi- ment of confederate rangers met in Turner hall. They were called to order by Banker Sam Manerick, president of the association. Gen. W. H. Young, an old comrade, bade the veterans welcome to the city of the Alamo, and then branched out into a delineation of the heroism dis- played upon the battle fields of the South by “Terry’s Texas Rangers.” This afternoon the following of- ficers were elected for the ensuirg year: president, John Hill, of Bas- trop; vice-presidents, D. O. Hill, of Smithville, Ford Kyle of Kyle, and T. A. Lubbock of Houston; treasur- er, W. D. Cleveland, of Houston. The exclusiveness of the organiza. tion was shown by the promptitude with which a motion by Capt. Ford Kyle to make J. Q. Chenewet), third auditor of the treasury, an honorary member was tabled. There was no sort of objection to Chene- weth, but it was the purpose to cor- fine the membership to actual survi- vors and the houorary membership to the wives or children of Terry's men. This evening a grand reception was held at Turner Hall. The Tiny Particles Which Make Up the Heaven and the Earth. All substances are made up of tiny particles which can not be further re- duced in size without change of prop- erties and breaking up into their com- povent atoms. These particles or groups of atoms are molecules, and all matter is trembling with their billions of vibrations per second. In solids the molecules are arranged in a certain fixed order, and their vibration is in a limited space; in liquids they move about in all directions, yet none can voluntarily separate themselves from the others; while in gases they are in a state of vibration so violent that they fly about with marvelous rapidity in all directions. Every cubic inch of air contains no less than twenty-one trillions of molecules, and every point on our skin is bombarded by thousands of millions of them every second. Each is so small that three hundred would not extend across the width of the smallest line the most powerful microscope shows us. Mag- nify them one trillion diameters, and each atom is the size of our globe, each molecule is 2 planct ary system. and each air-bubble from the fringe around the water in the goblet is a wonderful galaxy. Magnified 10,000 trillion diameters the air-bubble would have the dimensions of our entire stellar system, but would contain 50,000 billions of stars instead of the 20,000,000 our best telescopes can show us. If the atoms had in- habitants, with our sensations quick- ened and shortened 1,000 billion times to correspond to theirown diminutive- ness, each atom would be a world,eac® molecule a solar system, and the revolutions of the atoms would give days and years. The atom-dweller would see no more of the air-bubble than we see of our stellar universe; for, though the air bubble’s molecules average 80,000,000 collisions every second, thousands and tens of thou- sands of generations of the living THESILVER CONVENTION. Free and Unimited Coinage the War- Cry, Denver, Col, Nov, 12.—As the silver convention progresses it in- creases in interest. Delegates keep pouring in, and it is a novelty to see the people of different polities work- ing hand in hand. Free and uniim- ited coinage is the war cry alike of republicans, democrats and prohib:- tionists. The fact that the people of St. Louis saw fit to take the ix- itiative in this move has worked good, inasmuch that resolutions were adopted favoring that city for the world’s fair. Another resolution commends congress to provide for the coinage of at least $4,000,000 of Judge Symes adopted re- silver each month. and several other gentlemen have | peings might exist beforea perceptible made eloquent speec It is not likely the ¢ conclude its labors befo night. alteration of their starry firmament could be recorded.
